The following points highlight the seven major endocrine influences on metabolism of carbohydrates. The endocrine influences are: 1. Insulin 2. Adrenocortical Hormones 3. Anterior Pituitary Factors 4. Epinephrine 5. Thyroid Hormone 6. Glucagon 10. Sex Hormones. 1. Insulin: a. Causes glucose transport across cell membrane by increasing the permeability of the cells. b. Increases glycogen formation in liver and muscle [...]
The following points highlight the top five metabolic significance of hexose monophosphate shunt. 1. CO2 is the characteristic product in this pathway which is not formed in Embden- Meyerhof pathway. This product is utilized for the synthesis of fatty acid and purine bases etc. 2. The reduced NADP (NADPH) formed in this pathway is used in the synthesis of fatty [...]
